Tom Cruise says he'd try directing if he weren't so busy with a different kind of off-camera project: parenting.

"It's really about my kids," explains Cruise, the father of three children, who says directing a film would be even more time-consuming than producing or performing.

"One day I will do it, but right now, I'm having so much fun as an actor," Cruise says on AMC's "Storymakers," which airs Friday (10 p.m. EDT). The special is co-hosted by show-biz veterans Peter Bart and Peter Guber.
